Michael Jordan vs Dominique Wilkins - Revenge For The Blowout | The Unrelenting Defender

Michael Jordan was the greatest scorer of all time in NBA basketball history. Also, Michael Jordan controlled the game & disrupted another team's offense, with his defense, like no other player before or after. This game right here is a great example of that. Michael had an unbelievable night with his scoring, and MJ hit some insane shots in this basketball game! Michael also disrupted over a dozen Atlanta Hawks plays with his disruptive high energy defense. The Atlanta Hawks had blown the Bulls out by 28 points in the last game, back in December. In that 28 point blowout loss, Jordan put up 41 points on 60% shooting, but his teammates absolutely no-showed. Many athletes in Jordan's position would have showed up expecting to lose, considering the previous blowout. Michael Jordan was all over the court on defense, and offensively, it was one highlight after the other. Sometimes you'll hear the claim "____ ____ can defend the 1-5." There have been a number of defenders with that type of versatility over the years, and they are special players. Michael Jordan didn't just "defend the 1-5", Michael Jordan terrorized the 1-5. And here's the true icing on the cake, Michael Jordan was playing with an injured shooting hand/thumb. Didn't matter, because Michael Jordan showed up with the same mindset that he always did... WIN!
